Abstract
A closed form of the generating functional of connected correlators of W3 conserved currents in the semiclassical limit has already been derived in the context of W3 gravity. The result was expressed via the analogs of Polyakov’s variable f. In this talk, I will revisit this problem and show that the generating functional can be expressed as the on-shell action of sl3-Toda fields, coupled with external sources. In particular, the equations of motions of Toda fields as well as the anomalous W3 Ward identities are related to derivatives of the generalized Beltrami equations.
